How Are We Like the Olympic Games?

We Believe in the Power of Many

• The ancient Olympic games, evolving from a religious festival, began in 776 B.C. and took place in Olympia, in the western Peloponnese Islands.

• Over time, they have become the modern event promoting peace and unity within the international community through the medium of sports.

Passing the Torch (Knowledge)

• The Olympic Torch Relay is the ceremonial relaying of the Olympic flame from the ruins of the Temple of Hera in Olympia, Greece to the site of the host nation.

• The Olympic Torch Relay ends on the day of the opening ceremony when the flame arrives at its host city. The final torchbearer(s) run into the stadium to light the Olympic cauldron with the flame, which remains lit for the duration of the games and is extinguished at the closing ceremony of the games. Our Knowledge “torch” gets extinguished if we do not effectively document and share our learnings.

Nutrition & Hydration

• For Olympic-level performance, one must eat properly including eating a breakfast of complex carbohydrates and lean protein, then eat again every 3-4 hours and within 90 minutes of working out.

• Boost your immunity – For optimum performance, one must stay healthy, which means that you need a good amount of antioxidants and superfoods in your diet. Incorporate whole-grain carbs, lean proteins, and colorful fruits and veggies into their snacks and meals every day.

• Stay hydrated 24/7 - Consume half your bodyweight in fluid ounces of pure water and if exercising intensely or for long duration, consume a sports-drink to replenish electrolytes.

Sleep

• Optimal sleep translates to optimal performance.

• High-level athletes that are training hard need 8-10 hours sleep. Focus on quality of sleep by going to bed before 11 p.m.

• For optimal hormonal release don’t use a computer or watch TV within 30 minutes of sleeping to avoid affects of electromagnetic waves and make your sleeping environment as dark as possible. You need the hormone melatonin to sleep. Melatonin is only released under low-light conditions.

• Cooler temperatures and background noise is recommended for an ideal sleep environment.

• Avoid alcohol use and hitting the snooze button.

Mental Preparation

• “When you reach that elite level, 90% is mental and 10% is physical. You are competing against yourself. Not against the other athlete.” - Dick Fosbury, USA gold medalist in track and field.

• Olympic athletes spend a great deal of time psychologically preparing for the big day. Some ways to do this include: goal-setting, visualization, and positive thinking.

• Olympic athletes have an

impressive mental prowess

cultivated through years of

training the mind to tune out

distractions, reduce stress and

anxiety, and build the focus and

stamina they need to achieve

optimal performance.
